Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Place a baking sheet on the rack where you will bake the pie.

Combine the carrots, celery, peas, green beans, corn, onion, red potatoes, and chicken broth in a large pot. Season the mixture with thyme, salt, and black pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. Drain the vegetables and set them aside.

Put the dry chicken gravy mix into another saucepan and slowly whisk in the water until smooth. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer until thickened, about 1 minute. Set the gravy aside and let it keep thickening as it cools.

Press one pie crust into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish. Spoon a layer of gravy (about 1/3 cup) into the crust. Layer the cooked vegetables and shredded chicken into the crust until the filling is level with the top of the dish. Pour the remaining gravy slowly over the filling until the gravy is visible at the top. Scatter the butter pieces over the filling; top with the second crust. Seal the 2 crusts together and crimp with a fork.

Whisk the egg and milk together in a bowl, then brush the egg wash over the top crust. Pierce the top crust several times to vent steam.

Bake the pot pie in the preheated oven until the filling is bubbling and the crust is golden brown, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Check periodically to see if the edge of the crust is browning too quickly; if needed, cover the edge with a strip of aluminum foil to prevent over-browning.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
